Polyacrylamide
Polyacrylamide is a linear water-soluble polymer, and is one of the most widely used varieties of water-soluble polymer
compounds.PAM and its derivatives can be used as efficient flocculants, thickeners, paper enhancers and liquid drag reducing
agents, and Polyacrylamide are widely used in water treatment, paper making, petroleum, coal, mining, metallurgy, geology,
textile,construction and other industrial sectors.

What is polyacrylamide used for?
Polyacrylamide is used in various industries and applications, including:
- Water Treatment: as a flocculant to remove suspended particles in wastewater.
- Enhanced Oil Recovery: to increase oil recovery from reservoirs.
- Papermaking: as a retention aid to improve paper quality.
- Soil Erosion Control: to stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
- Gel Electrophoresis: for DNA, RNA, or protein separation.
- Personal Care Products: for texture and hold in gels and lotions.
- Mining Industry: as a flocculant in mineral processing and a thickener in tailings disposal.
Different formulations of polyacrylamide are used based on the specific application.
